Institutional-only availability and different reporting requirements can result in lower compliance, administrative, advertising, and marketing costs than other vehicles with a similar investment strategy.

Reduced Cash
Flow Volatility

CITs generally keep low cash balances, and inflows are typically predictable due to periodic contributions. These factors can help reduce cash flow volatility, allowing the portfolio to be managed more efficiently while staying fully invested.

Greater Fee Flexibility

Fees and expenses can vary depending on the retirement plan. A CIT can charge reduced fees for plans with a certain level of assets in the portfolio.

A CIT may be a good investment solution for certain tax-qualified and governmental retirement plans that are seeking characteristics not available with a mutual fund while avoiding the operational responsibilities and costs associated with a separately managed account. However, your plan sponsor clients should be aware that adding CIT investments may present certain transparency, portability, and regulatory challenges. In addition, the plan participants should carefully read materials supplied to them before investing.

For either glide path, you and your clients can choose between fully active portfolios or strategically managed blends of active and passive underlying holdings.
